Starting with comfortable over-the-ear earpieces. Your ear goes inside the cup rather than having earphone padding pushing your ear backward against the head, leading to pain after hours of use. Headband fatigue is another potential problem with long-term headset use. Modified aircraft headsets sold by others for ham radio use push down on the top of the head because they are heavy and lack adequate padding at the top. We have solved this problem with two features. First, thick rubberized foam padding at the top of the headband that molds to the head when in use. Second, like broadcast headsets, the W1 has a tilt-and-click headband tilt feature. The headband can be tipped back as far as 30 degrees off vertical without moving the earpieces, in addition to standard up/down movement of the band.

Receive and transmit audio sound terrific. Large diaphragm high response speakers provide clear, clean articulation of receive audio. Stereo connector for use with dual receive transceivers if desired. Transmit audio is from a 600 ohm dynamic microphone element that’s the correct impedance for your HF transceiver and has excellent response from 50 Hz-15 kHz. Sounds great for DXing, contesting, and general on-the-air use.

Extra long straight and coiled cable from the headset to the radio. 7 feet total length. 4 feet of straight section, followed by 1 1/2 feet coiled for RF suppression, then 1 foot straight to the adapter for the radio mic jack. Connect the 1/8″ mono transmit audio jack on the headset to an INRAD M-series mic jack adapter and you’re ready to operate.

This sensational new product sells for only US$179. Microphone jack adapters sold separately, $14.95. All details and more are available at the INRAD section of www.vibroplex.com

Objective: For Amateurs worldwide to exchange information with W/VE amateurs on 160-meter CW. DX-to-DX QSOs do not count for contest credit. Stations located in overseas and non-contiguous U.S. Territories may be worked by DX stations. This includes Alaska KL7, the Caribbean US possessions KP1-KP5, and all of the Pacific Ocean territories KH0-KH9, including Hawaii KH6. These stations can work BOTH domestic stations (US and VE) as well as DX stations around the world. Check your software before the contest to be sure it will accept these QSOs.
